Redyx-L 100 mg Injection 20 ml belongs to a group of anti-viral medicines called SARS-CoV-2 nucleotide analogue RNA polymerase inhibitor used to treat coronavirus disease requiring hospitalisation. Coronavirus disease, also known as SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus 2), is an infectious disease caused by the corona virus.
 
Redyx-L 100 mg Injection 20 ml contains ‘Remdesivir, which binds to the viral-RNA dependant RNA polymerase enzyme, an enzyme that helps the coronavirus to replicate itself. This inhibits viral replication by premature termination of RNA transcription. Thereby, Redyx-L 100 mg Injection 20 ml lowers the virus load in the body and helps treat the infection.
 
Redyx-L 100 mg Injection 20 ml will be administered by a healthcare professional in a hospital or a healthcare setting capable of providing in-patient hospital care. In some cases, you may experience certain side effects such as nausea, increased transaminase levels, and increased prothrombin time.
